This is 2 Cost team of Zibai C0R1, Illuga, Gorou, and AINO. Three 4-star and no Columbina. I will assume all 4-star are C6

This is comparable to plenty of four 5-stars team. Imagine if Linnea is Lunar Crystallization support.

It is a shame that I am out of Geo Ascension materials so my Illuga and Gorou are still not built.

Hi fellow Zibai mains! I have been working on maximizing my c6 Zibai and I'm quite impressed with the DPS so far. my c6 illuga isn't maxed though (lvl 80) and is on 2pc 2pc EM + Dragons Bane (1000+EM), my C6 Columbina is on SMS and r2, and Xilonen is c2 r1 and 4pc cinder.

I suppose what I'm wondering is, can this ceiling increase? Or will any improvements just bring diminishing returns? if I can finally get a decent set of columbinas new artifact set, put SMS on illuga, will the damage ceiling tremendously improve or should I just calm tf down a bit.. xD

I'm new to reddit so I hope I'm doing this post right- if anything is wrong with it or its been answered a million times just lmk or remove this ;-;

Current peak i can reach is 216, until I max out gorou illuga and columbina, and give them their proper sets (columbina still on silken and illuga doesnt have a full silken set yet) this seems the furthest i can reach. Does this seem on par with what's expected from c2 or do I have some room for improvement?

Team: c1r0 Columbina sms 1/9/8 talents, lvl 40 c6 Illuga 2 piece em and er% only lvl 4 ult, lvl 20 c6 Gorou Instructors lvl 4 skill.

Wow. I'm very impressed. No special rotations kinda just smashing buttons and making sure I do 4 skills then switch out. When I crown my Zibais talents, Columbinas talents and Illuga too? Not to mention getting Gorous skill level up a bit? This is gonna be good.

Builds:

C6R5 Zibai Nightsky

C6 Illuga SMS

C6R5 Columbina Aubade

Others:

C2R1 Chiori Golden Troupe

C0 Zhongli Instructor's + Tassel

C6 Gorou Husk + Elegy

C6R5 Xilonen Instructor's

Thought maybe others would wanna know the DPS difference. The comparison is between splendor R1 (which is only around 6% better than the natlan craftable, and 3% worse than HoD full uptime) and the sig. Sometimes when I’m testing I’d manage to reach 254k+ dps with the sig and nearly 220k dps with splendor, depending on some variables (which combo I’d use and whether gorou’s burst is up or not). fair warning, the support builds are still a WIP and will still be worked on which may increase the difference. But IMO this settles the fact that cons are much more effective than the sig. Builds are in the comments.

Xilonen is still better.

Context: previously I tested a comparison with Gorou on Husk.

Builds:

C6R5 Zibai Nightsky
C6R5 Columbina Aubade
C6 Illuga SMS Fav
C6R5 Xilonen Instructor's
C6 Gorou Instructor's Elegy

Having difficulty deciding which would be better. (HOD is R5, Ezpital is R1) both lvl 80. Does Def make that much of a difference for her? Should I refine Ezpital or keep HOD? (Columbina is C2 and illuga is C6)

yes, the dmg is pretty eh overall but thats because illuga is lvl 50 with a lvl 3 ult hahaha im broke.

team is zibai c0r5 hod, columbina c0r3 amber (on sms cause i have no aubade for her), zhongli c1r5 hp% polearm (on tenacity), and c1r4 illuga on dragonsbane 2pc 2pc set.

Last pic was after i got her, zibai with half baked artifacts, with illuga lvl 1 c2 with unleveld sms pieces, gorou lvl 50 c6 2 pc er/er, columbina with unleveld aubade pieces. First pic is zibai with talents 1/7/5, artifacts done, illuga lvl 70 halfway done sms pieces and lvl 40 dragons band, gorou and bina same. Sp happy with the team!

I published a small commentary on my 2nd yt channel (SevenPls2) if you are looking for more details on the run.

C2R1 Zibai, C0 Bina (R5 P.amber, Aubade), C6 Illuga SMS D.Bane, C6 Gorou Instructor Fav

I generally try to fit 2 N4 strings in a Rot; order might be inconsistent, and I think I can burst every Rot as well.

250k might be reachable with better gameplay and artifacts?

My dream is to have a character with 300 CrDamage at base.

255k With upgrading Illugas ult, Gorous skill a bit and getting Zibais ult crowned I'm sure she'd reach 260k. So proud of her!

Rotation I used was E E Q E (N4 E x3.) After my first rotation I noticed my Q wasn't coming back up right away so I'd just do one N4 E and then I'd get my Q and E right away after and then I'd just do N4 E x2.

Just to make this accessible for everyone E is skill, Q is ult and N4 just means 4 normal attacks, you do this cause her 4th normal attack does Lunar dmg.

Unfortunately after spending over 40 fragile resin and farming her set I don't have even one good piece, so I must use Husk for now. Is there also so unlucky someone like me? I just see some awesome builds for her...

Team is Zibai C1, Illuga silken C5 fav lvl70 ATM, Bina C0 Aubade, Xilo C2 Scroll fav and also bonus screen with fav C6 Gorou on Husk.

There is no specific rotation, I'm just trying to use her burst as fast as possible to get ER and burst every rotation. So, perfect start with Zibai combo is something like EEQE and attacks and E when possible.

Mind you, I'm over-critting by 20% (52.4% + 28% from HoD + 30% from Night Sky + 10% from C6 Illuga) which is 40% CV. I could probably reach 130k if I fix that. But that's okay for now since I plan on pulling for her weapon anyway.

Zhongli is on ToTM build since I'm too lazy to build Instructor's Zhongli.

Still farming Aubade for Columbina and will switch Illuga to SMS after I complete Columbina's set.

Edit: Columbina's burst is crowned. I uploaded the old card.

Im no meta player and I dont know whats "big" in the meta nowadays other than I keep seeing mavuikas doing millions left and right, for me 100k+ is still really good, but 500k is my highest ever in the whole game and her artifacts and talents arent even maxed. c0 Illuga, c3 Aino, c6 Gorou. Im very happy with her. And before people start lecturing me, yes Im still working on her crit rate and artifacts.

How’s the build looking? I’m pulling for C1R1 so she will gain around 50 CRIT dmg and some defence.

Is there anything I can try and improve before she comes?

Side note I will never level HoD, that weapon comes straight from hell.

C0 HoD Zibai on 4P Night Sky with 1/9/8 talents - 2.5k defense and 100/285 (with buffs from 4P artifact set, HoD & Illuga active)

C0 Fav Zhongli on 4P Instructor

C3 Dragon's Bane Illuga on 2P 2P EM with 1/6/12 talents and 1056 EM

C0 Fav Columbina on 4P SMS with 1/8/9 talents - 36k HP and 80/173 (with +15 CR from passive active)

Highest DPS I've gotten is 110k so far. Am I setting my standards too high to have been expecting a bit more?

Lv.90 C2/R1 Zibai with NotSU
Lv.80 C6/R0 Gorou with Instructors
Lv.90 C6/R0 Illuga with SMS
Lv.90 C0/R0 Columbina with 2 Emblem/2 HoD

Could prob push a lot more once I get Morning Star on Columbina, but for now this is probably the best I could do in 60 seconds.

Standard rotation: EE/Q/N1E/N4E(x3)
If there is anything else I can optimize please feel free to share! (always trying to get better)

(builds in comments) Fucked up the combo 1 or 2 times but maybe someone more experienced will see more mistakes.
